Well, I just lost a lot of respect for Mr. Skinner.

As opposed to centuries and centuries of religious belief in some form of another, where you could literally be killed for not believing. And those monarchs who pretended to be religious to their advantage, of course.

I'm less keen on the millions of band wagon theists who unquestionly pray to their god because they don't want to think for themselves, and believe it makes them sound deep, and spiritual.

Just for the record, I'm not over generalising theists, I'm just trying to demonstrate how little thought Mr. Skinner apparently gives his rash and thoughtless statements.
